In this problem, it is given that f double dash, which is the second derivative of the function f is continuous in the interval, negative infinity, infinity.
00:18
In the first question, it is given that the derivative f dash of the function at the point negative 1 is equal to 0, and the second derivative at the point negative 1 is negative 1.
00:34
We are asked to determine the behavior of the function f.
00:38
The options provided are, the first option is that at x is equal to negative 1, f has a local maximum.
00:50
The second option is that at x is equal to negative 1, f has a local minimum.
00:58
The next option is that at x is equal to negative 1, f has no maximum or minimum.
01:11
And the last option is that not enough information provided to determine.
01:21
So here we know that for a function f of x with continuous second derivatives in the interval negative infinity infinity we have.
01:33
If a point x is equal to c is a point of local maximum, if the derivative at the point c for the function is equal to 0 and the second derivative at the point c is less than 0.
01:51
It will be a point of minimum if the first derivative is 0 and the second derivative is greater than 0...
